Collaboration with the Retina Dance Company
Aranis are collaborating with the Retina Dance Company: "Retina is an ambitious contemporary dance company artistically led by Filip Van Huffel, producing dance performances of differing scales; from theatre performances to large-scale site-specific events, multi-media projects and a wide range of accessibility and educational projects."
Aranis and the group are collaborating with them in a piece called Layers of Skin: "it is a multilayered performance event with bold choreography by Belgian/English choreographer Filip Van Huffel and his Retina Dance Company with live music by Joris Vanvinckenroye and his acclaimed Belgian chamber rock ensemble Aranis."

About Hanging Sounds

This blog is the outlet for all my musical passions, new music that I discover, old favourites and everything in between.

The blog will contain music reviews, music recommendations, interviews, featured bands, albums and even focus on styles/genres, as well as occasional news about bands and musicians.

There is no predominant musical style covered here. It will run the gamut from rock and metal to jazz, folk, neo-classical and electronic; from ambient to experimental to psychedelic to progressive and avant-garde.Something for most people.

Please, feel free to comment on the posts, saying what you think of the music discussed (or telling me how bad my writing is).
